I am going to guess these are fairly old speakers. I would recommend getting a replacement system.

Its pretty simple actually.
If you already have the same size new tweeter. You take off of course the large felt cover so speakers are exposed on front. Just like your picture is in this post. Then you should see some screws, most likely it is going to be Phillips. Then unscrew all the screws, the whole front should slide out with of course speakers still attached, don't pull out to fast or far, to make sure the internal wires are long enough to take whole front out and set aside speaker box, the on back of speaker should be two wires going to it, maybe three if is tapped in conjunction with a ground. Anyway on back of speaker unplug the wire from speaker and then, take out screws which is normally on back of speaker, pull speaker out, put new one in and repeat steps in reverse order. Hope this helps. Mike

That is the standby mode but if its not kicking out of standby mode it could be a fuse issue

The T300 uses a 2.5A fuse.

To replace the fuse:

1. Unplug the AC cord from the AC power source,

then remove the AC power cord from the speaker's

power connector.

2. Remove the fuse cap with a small, flat blade screwdriver

(see diagram 2).

3. Remove the fuse from the fuse cap

(see diagram 3).

4. Replace the fuse inside fuse cap with another metric

5X20mm size fuse

5. Replace the fuse inside the cap, replace the fuse

and cap in the power connector (see diagram 5).

6. Connect the AC power cord to the speaker and

raise it upright.
7. Connect the power cord to an AC power outlet

I can't find anything for a model PSW2 but if you determine the size and look around (Google, eBay) something should pop up.

example:

I'd be looking at the amp for an overheating problem. What is it? Is it properly ventilated?

It does sound like a connector issue, don't you think?

What happens if you DON"T touch the connector but move the volume control on the controller?

Have you tried looking outward toward the source?

do they plug in with a 3.5mm audio jack?
if so, i think you need to check your drivers for laptop output socket.
have you tried output with any headphones etc? do they work on laptop?

Well, easy task, just put a music CD, on system and if you got an headphones, put in the green connector on your sound card, pop up the PC volume, and see if you heard sound, if you do, heard sound then the problem is your speakers. if don't is your sound card.
good luck

Hi Paulus
A lot brand of speakers, like Sound Blasters, Logitech, Cambridge, has this (strange) kind of volume problem, sometimes, is the resistor, in the volume control, sometimes in the modulator for the board on the sound speakers, Subwofer.
I use a general tip is let the volume in one setting and don't move in the intermediate low volume say....9 .
from other thing, be change the speakers.
